No he's not. He's obsessed with celebrity.
And doesn't play enough
Dwight career > Joels when it's all said and done

dwight rode the wave
got herbed by someone who's not even playing
its always in his feelings
not a serious basketball player
wanted to be a focal point of the offense when his skills are limited
rode more waves and couldnt even fit in with Houston
created his whole team around him in orlando only to get the coach fired and bail
didnt want to work with kareem
went back home to Atlanta and proved that he's not the focal point
only guy Steve Nash has ever publicly scolded
made jokes towards Kobe instead of trying to get better
chills and parties with 15 year old girls
and the beat goes on
and on and on and on

just shows how low people's awareness actually is ... Dwight was funny sometimes but he always came off as pandering... then he would act passive aggressively. Joel is having fun but he's about that life. Real people saw straight through Dwight from the jump... he is super transparent, you cant rely or trust that nikka.

Taking my talents to South Beach
Facts on facts on facts.nikkaS TURNED ON DWIGHT
WHEN HE CLASHED WITH KOBE.
THESE DUDES USED TO BE ON HIS dikk
AND shyt ON SHAQ
ANYTIME HE MENTIONED HIM.
Summer 2012 around the time of the Olympics when the trade went through, Kobe stans absolutely loved Dwight. By April 2013 when Kobe tore his Achilles and him and dwight were beefing and it was evident Dwight wasn’t coming back, they turned on him.
Rewrite history brehs
And yet some folks already find him "corny", as evidence in this thread. Now just imagine how that would shift to the norm if Embiid has a career-arc similar to Dwight's. It seems to me everyone is finding the light side of Embiid's personality now, because like I said above, there's still hope around his play, but the moment that's no longer there and [if] he fails to live up to expectations like Dwight did, those same people won't be entertained by Joel "having fun" anymore.

Embiid hasn’t got in any disputes with coaches.
Dwight was loved by everyone till he did that shyt to Stan, that is when the hate came. And then he continued to get in beefs with each team he was on

Dwight wanted Dantoni fired and Lakers told him no. That was a huge reason he didn’t want to come back.
Let's see Dwight was trying to be a bible thumping goody boy while he was impregnating every chick from Florida to California. He's had terrible fallouts with like every team he's been on. The Stan Van Gundy shyt. The story of him betting a ball boy he couldn't make a shot and when the ballboy did he wasn't trying to pay up until Kobe said something. Also wasn't he caught texting underage girls?

I pray to the Post Gods every day that Embiid stays healthy.
So that @Malta has no excuse for when Embiid fails to live up to the hype.
In all seriousness, I hope all these young bigs (Embiid, KAT, Porzingis, Markkanen etc) become the best players they possibly can. Embiid is a once-in-a-lifetime type talent, it'd be a shame if we looked back at his career as a what if.
I still ain't happy about him continuing to look for fouls, instead of using his skillset either. Tell @Malta I said it.
He's already lived up to the hype, Franchise player - check
Best big in the league - check
Imagine the Sixers record if he had a strong number 2 like Anthony Davis
Judging by his latest performance, it looks like he needs AD to come over to show him how it's done.

Show him how to play with another top 15 player and be flirting with a .500 record?
Show him how to play like an SF?
If you gonna talk bigs with me, they better have an actual post game, I'm not here to discuss small forwards beloved.
